وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) أَلْقَى صِبْيَانُ الْكُتَّابِ أَلْوَاحَهُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لِيَخِيرَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهَا حُكُومَةٌ وَ الْجَوْرُ فِيهَا كَالْجَوْرِ فِي الْحُكْمِ أَبْلِغُوا مُعَلِّمَكُمْ إِنْ ضَرَبَكُمْ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ ضَرَبَاتٍ فِي الْأَدَبِ اقْتُصَّ مِنْهُ .
Translation
And by this chain, ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> - two children threw their books and their tablets in front of him<sup>asws</sup> in order for him<sup>asws</sup> to choose between them. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But it is a judgement, and the tyranny in it is like the tyranny in the judgement. Deliver (what I<sup>asws</sup> am saying) to your teacher that if he were to hit you over three hits during the disciplining, there would be compensation from it’.
